“We are looking at launching 4-5 new products by end this year or beginning of next year,” Warrier added.

She further told PTI, “We believe in offering a range of choices to our customers… Clearly there is a ready category momentum (for nutrition backed products)… We have seen that nutrition backed products are growing much faster.. We need to tap that momentum.”
